Default Hit and run....

...yup happened a few days ago. Someone rearended me then took off on I-40 right where it splits off from Patton. Anyway, I got their license plate number as they were taking off and called the cops. Damage is very minor, just left some paint on the corner of my truck so it shouldn't be much to fix it just pisses me off that someone would just take off.

I have to call tonight to find out. They pulled their tag number in front of me and I have their address, insurance info and all that. They just want to verify the person before I claim it on their insurance.

It's cool guys my truck is so dirty right now that you can't even see the damage unless I pointed it out to you. Should be cheap to fix.

That sucks to hear. I thought I got my car scraped when I was in a parking lot once. Turned out my dad hit it when he was backing out of my driveway and couldn't tell me because I was gone.
